"170 to Victoria"

The public transportation is starting to become ever more clear as to how it works. One thing I will say is that it is exceptionally efficient. The buses run much later than those of Cedar Rapids running till after one am and during the day most routes have busses coming to each stop nearly every five to ten minutes. It puts most public transit systems in the United States to shame. Our most common bus that we take is the 170 line to either Victoria station or Clapham station. We are staying in the Battersea park neighborhood. And I can honestly say I am happy we are. We are a little off the beaten path and its most locals in our neighborhood so the foot traffic isn't too bad and we have a bus stop literally on our front step. My general experience when traveling abroad is to steer clear of tourist hotel destinations and I am glad we have done that. Overall it's a nice area and free of the hassles of being a tourist.
